One of my favorite submissions to date… a motolady from generations past!
This is a picture of my great grandmother Ingeborg in Boston in the 1910s. She moved to the U.S. all the way from Sweden, and a century later I did the same thing. It’s kinda cool to think that this motolady thing runs in my blood, even though it apparently skipped a couple of generations :). – Sanna (Cinderalley)
Mary McGee is a pioneer in American motorcycle racing, thanks to her untamable determination and a spirit as warm as her smile. Her excitement for motorcycling, especially racing, is contagious even in her eighties. She was the first woman to receive an FIM racing license in the United States, first woman to complete the Baja 1000, and the first woman to race the Baja 500 solo. These aren’t her only firsts, either. She was also the first woman in motocross and road racing in the States. McGee was rightly inducted into the AMA Hall of Fame in 2018.
